Some pics from Chicago

I don't carry my camera around much, but I swear I took more pics than this!! Anyways, here's a couple from CHA!

Here it is!

My CHA-S 2007 Release :D Oceanside contains 6 Papers, Alpha Stickers and also (2) 6x12 and (1) Sheet of 6x6 Stickers to go on our chipboard. The BEST part, everything is prepunched and rounded! Just peel and stick! No more tracing, cutting or punching!
AND Don't forget about our chipboard frames! Layout by Audrey Neal with my Oceanside line!

Is anyone doing digital layouts this month?

Of course you are! There's a digital challenge going on at 2croppincousinz this month! You can enter up to FIVE layouts for FIVE chances of winning a prize from them! I completed May's challenge and won one of their awesome ribbon jars!! So why not post in one more gallery! Make sure to introduce yourselves too, it's a really great site!

Get Noticed!!!

Kit Clubs, Digital Designers even Manufactures!!
Get Noticed! ScrapGypsies is a fresh new concept that is going to grab attention. Imagine letting a fresh new team of scrappers and crafters loose on your newest product! To get your name and product out there, our team of scrappers will scrap, craft, alter, hybrid with your product! The more fabulous the better.


Designers, Shops, or Products to be featured will be chosen based on viability and availability of product, as well as style and quality. We will endeavor to feature the new as well as the popular, across all borders and design styles. Our intent is to show variety of product and design style. Our selection process will be complicated, involving application order, quality assessment by administration, and input from the Gypsies themselves.


In exchange for product, each member of our team will devise a project using your product and post it on our site as well as in three major online galleries. Product must be delivered at least three weeks prior to the showcase date to give our gypsies time to caravan over to your site and pick up goodies and then play with them.


Several options are available for delivery of kits. Either provide a download link or a coupon for your store, good for the entire team. Specific details will be provided in future correspondence.


Included in your feature package will be a month long banner ad to be run along side paid banner ads. You may choose one of any of the following sizes: 468×60 - top of page and 120×60, 120×120, 120×240 - sidebar.
A brief bio along with links to your shop and/or website(s) and including a photo or other graphic will also be posted during your feature period. As well, a list of featured designers/product will be maintained permanently, along with a link to your site.


Notice: Failure to produce feature product or ad art within the appointed time frame will forfeit your spot and any related fees. Designers will be waiting excitedly for your place in line!


Designers may also offer free samples or discounts or coupons, or contests during the feature period, if desired. In addition there will be special services available upon request, such as product delivery, ad composition services, freebie hosting, and more. To read more about services available and/or planned, visit our Designer Services Page.

4 kits, 8 exclusive stamps sets and shipping!!!

Here's how it works:
*Each raffle entry is worth a $5 donation toward helping Baylee's dream come true. Click the make a donation paypal button on <---- the left and donate any amount you wish. For every $5 you donate your name will be entered once. 4 donations of $5 each gets you one free. So, if you donate $20 your name will be entered into the raffle drawing 5 times.

Those wanting the Shabby P. coupon

teets-shabbyp2 is the new code for 20% off ACOT products
teets-shabbyp is still the same for Scrapix.

Well, I got it done! (For Father's Day)

Hybrid and a mixture of elements like ribbons, chipboard and Petaloo!

I started my album

I got my Pageframes album this afternoon and couldn't wait to start! BUT I really didn't have much in my stash to use on it...so I made my own :D I used items from Shabby Princess, myself, Kelly Shults, Lisa Whitney, Meredith Fenwick, Carrie Stephens, Holly Vandenberg and MissTina.
So here's what I made:

"Note"able

Finally, I got a kit done! I don't remember the last time I did a full kit?! Anyways I think this kit will appeal to anyone, plus I threw in a 6x12 Template!!
You can pick this up at ACherryOnTop and soon at Scrapix too!!

Bad Blogger!

Sorry guys! I've been so busy it seems like! I just got a new shadow box in both the Scrapix and ACOT stores, it's the fourth in the series. I have a lot more sitting on my hard drive, but it seems I don't have time to finish them! I've been trying to get product ready for CHA for Dream Street. It seems all the deadlines are around the same time, but I'm too excited to really care...what else...oh I made my own 5x7 transparency book and also an 8x10 transparency! I'll post photos as soon as I can!

I LOVE me some Pageframes!

If you're unfamiliar with the company check them OUT! I'm going to have to beg someone to find out WHERE I can find that clear album!!!

My most Inspiring..........

Who is your most inspiring scapper? I have to say I met this girl at Scrapmuse a while back. Not only is she very supportive and beyond nice, PLUS she's a Nebraskan :D Anyways, I truely love how unique her style is plus she get's me to step outside my box to scrap more than just those 12x12 layouts! Oh, and she's also my hero because she's on the Fancy Pants team!! If you ever need a bit of inspiration check out Vicki Chrisman's blog! Who inspires you? I'm tagging all my readers!

Making your own tranparencies and rubons

Allrighty hybrid gals and of course digital ones too ;) I've recently been experimenting with printing my own stuff, not just on paper either! I put up a printable 4x6 frame at A Cherry On Top, with instructions on how to print for either a rubon or transparency. I let my ink sit to long so I don't have an example to show you, but it's free! So go give it a try!!
Also, there's a GREAT article in Scrapbook Dimensions about making and using transparencies!

One of the TOOTS!!!

Recently the wonderfully generous Shabby Princess put out a call for free kits. She felt terrible not being able to offer the free monthly downloads for scrappers. Well my kit was one that was choosen to be featured on the site! Also, I heard there's going to be some fun stuff coming at the end of the month, so make sure to visit the shoppe and get your carts ready!!
Did you want the layout I did as a Quick Page? Well here it is! A frameable 8x10 just for my blog readers!
Please send anyone who wants this here to my blog. It is against my term to share it any other way!
Okies! Now the LINK!

Whitie Tighties!

I was browsing the DigiShopTalk forum when I saw that Lindsay of ACOT needed some white papers, so I whipped these up for her and of course you guys too :D
You can find these papers at
Scrapix-Design OR
ACherryOnTop

A couple other notes:
1. Don't forget about the Dream Street Papers Contest at ACOT, for every 10 layouts they're giving away 25GCs! Go put up you layouts and projects!
2. I also have some FUN things to share in the next couple of days..hehehe...all good and free :D
3. Also, if you haven't subscribed to Scrapbook Dimension Magazine, I highly suggest you hop to it! It is by FAR the BEST mag I've seen yet! There's so much inspiration and the layout of the mag is totally a piece of art!
4. Serendipity Scrapbooks is hosting a hybrid contest! Check it out HERE!
5. Make sure to sign-up on the right for email updates, you never know what I'm gonna blog about :D

So Busy!
